Grief Counseling Mission Statement
Our mission is to support and encourage the students who
have lost a loved one. School counselors will provide
services for students who have suffered a loss. Our
purpose is to give our students an opportunity to
acknowledge their feelings and increase awareness of the
stages of grief and to teach coping techniques.
The Counselors Cadre of the Greenup County School district put together
the information contained in this plan. They have modified the work of
Izetta Smith, formerly of the Dougy Center, now with Kaiser Permanente,
gathered information from the Portland, Oregon Public Schools, and
compiled data from the Greenup County School district.

In a time of loss, Counselors and other staff are prepared to provide
assistance in helping members of the school community with the loss.
Typically, a loss would include the death of a student, family member,
teacher or other staff member. This can include car accidents, homicide, and
accidental deaths. Deaths from a long-term illness could include those from
cancer, cystic fibrosis and other chronic illnesses. Teen suicide, the second
leading cause of death among 11-19 year olds, has a profound impact on the
students, staff and community. Issues surrounding national and community
disaster situations may have a direct impact on the students and staff and it is
important to maintain a sense of order to the highest degree possible.
